MegaRAID SAS 8204XLP/SAS 8208XLP RAID Controllers

The MegaRAID SAS 8204XLP PCI-X Low-Profile Disk Array RAID
Controller controls four internal ports that can support SAS devices or
SATA devices through one mini SAS 4i internal connector.

The MegaRAID SAS 8208XLP PCI-X Low-Profile Disk Array RAID
Controller controls eight internal ports that can support SAS devices or
SATA devices through two mini SAS 4i internal connectors.

Note:

The SAS 8204XLP RAID controller does not contain the J5
(ports 4–7) connector. This is the only difference between
the SAS 8204XLP RAID controller and the SAS 8208XLP
RAID controller.

This subsection provides the board layout and connector/jumper
information for the SAS 8204XLP RAID controller, and the SAS 8208XLP
RAID controller.

Figure 3.2

shows the jumpers and the connectors on the

controller, and

Table 3.2

describes them.
